The objectives of the study were to evaluate the correlation between the degree of surgical difficulty measured by an established scale and the total surgical time, the ostectomy time and the tooth se…

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has a functionally complex articulation that during phylogeny underwent an adaptation also linked to posture change after the acquisition of upright posture and subse…

The objective of this review was to evaluate the scientific evidence on accuracy, as well as esthetic and clinical outcomes of single-tooth implants placed using computer-assisted, template-based surg…

Different surgical treatment strategies for periimplantitis using graft material and membranes have been suggested. However, in these, the microbiological aspects of the periimplant environment were u…

Several factors are involved in the achievement of implant primary stability, such as the insertion torque, the implant’s macrogeometry, the surgical technique, and the bone quality and quantity. Impl…

Transitioning from failing dentition to complete-arch implant rehabilitation may involve temporarily rendering the patient edentulous. In order to avoid the use of a removable prosthesis, immediate im…

The aims of the study were to assess the accuracy of dental computed tomography (CT) scans and to compare the discrepancies obtained when either the occlusal plane or the basal plane was used as the a…

Growth factors have shown the potential to promote odontoblast-like cell di erentiation and induce the formation of reparative dentin. The aims of this pilot study were to develop a regenerative appro…

This prospective case series study reports on a novel comprehensive method using digitized model casts and a superimposition technique to allow an objective evaluation of the hard- and soft-tissue par…

One of the most di icult challenges for implant-supported prosthetic restorations is the management and maintenance of periimplant soft- tissue esthetics, especially in the anterior region. In order t…

The objective of this article was to report the clinical and radiographic performance of a novel implant system that allows for hydraulic Schneiderian membrane elevation and simultaneous bone graft au…

The objectives of this study are to review the properties of melatonin in regulating bone homeostasis; to discuss its direct and indirect effects on bone; and to propose mechanisms for the use of mela…

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) possess high pluripotency and differentiation potential and may constitute a possible source of autologous stem cells for clinical applications. However, the len…

The objective of this article is to describe the successful management of an apicomarginal defect of a maxillary lateral incisor with a bone block graft performed simultaneously with apical surgery of…

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel is an autogenous blood-derived material that may be used as a regenerative agent of oral structures. The regenerative capacity of PRP is largely attributed to its compos…

The patient’s awareness and knowledge of periodontal disease is a key factor for successful periodontal treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate this knowledge among patients referred to…

All-on-4 treatment concept is widely applied for complete-arch rehabilitations. Nevertheless, minor technical and biological complications can occur. The objective of this study was to evaluate the th…

The placement of implants in the anterior region of the mandible is not free of risk and can even sometimes be life-threatening. The aim of this article is to review the anatomy of the anterior mandib…
